WHY fs II


That rheumatism and neuralgia are 90
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member Of nearly every family In the
land Is the victim of one of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, IN the
form of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are of constant oc-
currence. Not until the diseov cry of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
ceded to be incurable, but AthlophoroS
has been proved to be not only a certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but a safe remedy If, in the use
of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success Is certain, and to aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found to be valuable
aid to the action of the medicine. Athlo-
phoroS is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonderful efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing dis eases. They have
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating.
headache, constipation, loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles For
diseases of women they are invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
be safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials Of those who have been
cured will be sent free on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist, the Athlo-
phoros Co, liz Wall St., New York, will

RRiTAIN's PROPOSAL.
A Feeler Thrown Out TO Test Our
Fishy Disposition.

LONDON, April cot is officially
stated that Lord Salisbury in dis

understanding the action of the United
States in denouncing the fishery articles
of the treaty of Washington to be, in a
great degree the result of disappoint-
ment at being called upon to
pay eleven hundred thousand pounds
under the Halifax fisheries award,
offers to revert to the old condition of
affairs without pecuniary indemnity
which offer, it trusts, will commend
itself to the American government as
being based upon that spirit of good
will and generosity which should ami
mate the two great and kindred ma

and institutions constitute so many
bonds of amity and concord.

Amending the COnstitutiOss.

CITY OF MEXICO, April 22.-The
constitutional amendment passed the
house of deputies last night by an over
whelming majority, 124 deputies voting
for the amendment and only ten going
on record against it. The proposition
allows one reelection of president, that
is, two successive terms. The amend
ment now goes to the senate, where it
will now probably be passed without
debate. It's ratification by the state
nouncement of the vote the deputies
congratulated each other in the most
extravagant manner. BY the Ameri-

meaning the reelection of Diaz and
the consequent advancement of Next

curities, as well as the Improvement of
all American interests in Mexico.
